During the years I spent in elementary and high school, each morning was begun with the entire class bowing our heads in prayer and then reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag as a classmate led us in that privilege to do so.

It was a special time in our day, and today I realize it was a very special time in our lives due to the sad realization that my grandchildren will not be given that privilege. Why? Not because the majority felt that it was not the way to start a student's day, but because one person became out of sorts over the process and everyone else buckled.
